NOW A PRIME ORIGINAL TV SERIES Caliban's War is the second book in
the New York Times bestselling and Hugo-award winning Expanse
series. For someone who didn't intend to wreck the solar system's
fragile balance of power, Jim Holden did a pretty good job of it.
While Earth and Mars have stopped shooting each other, the core
alliance is shattered. The outer planets and the Belt are uncertain
in their new - possibly temporary - autonomy. Then, on one of
Jupiter's moons, a single super-soldier attacks, slaughtering
soldiers of Earth and Mars indiscriminately and reigniting the war.
The race is on to discover whether this is the vanguard of an alien
army, or if the danger lies closer to home. The Expanse is the
biggest science fiction series of the last decade and is now a
major TV series. Praise for the Expanse: 'The science fictional
equivalent of A Song of Ice and Fire' NPR Books 'As close as you'll
get to a Hollywood blockbuster in book form' io9.com 'Great
characters, excellent dialogue, memorable fights' wired.com 'High
adventure equalling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge
technology and a group of unforgettable characters . . . Perhaps
one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce' Library Journal
'This is the future the way it's supposed to be' Wall Street
Journal 'Tense and thrilling' SciFiNow The Expanse series:

Two modern classics in one volume. George Orwell is one of the
finest and most influential writers of the twentieth century. Here
in one volume, are two of his best-known works of electrifying
political fiction, 1984 and Animal Farm. Winston Smith rewrites
history. It's his job. Hidden away in the Ministry of Truth, he
helps the Party and the omnipresent Big Brother control the people
of Oceania. But a seed of rebellion has begun to grow in Winston's
heart - one that could have devastating consequences. The animals
of Manor Farm have tired of Farmer Jones. When the boar, Old Major,
shares his revolutionary plans, the animals are convinced they can
thrive on their own. But as the pigs vie for power, they begin to
bear an uncanny resemblance to the very tyrants they had overthrown
... Captivating readers since the mid-twentieth century, the
enduring popularity of 1984 and Animal Farm are testament to
Orwell's powerful, prophetic prose.

Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender's Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune, one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written.
Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - element in the universe. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis.
Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe.
When stewardship of Arrakis is transferred to his house, Paul Atreides must travel to the planet's dangerous surface to ensure the future of his family and his people. But as malevolent forces explode into conflict around him, Paul is thrust into a great destiny beyond his understanding.
And in this game of power, only those who can conquer their fear will survive.
